What are typical fulfilment and packaging costs for direct-to-consumer bottle orders in the UK?

Members report D2C fulfilment costs for a standard 70cl bottle shipped to mainland UK typically range from **£4.84 to £5.20 per order**, excluding shipping (or sometimes including it—clarify with your provider). Costs vary significantly depending on whether the supplier is bonded.

Specific providers members use: - **The PHL Group** — £4.84 per order, non-bonded fulfilment - **Codestorm** — similar pricing to PHL Group (£4.84–£5+), with standing monthly charges; members report orders average just over £5 when accounting for the monthly fee - **Law** — approximately £7.80, but this is from bond (bonded storage/fulfilment), which explains the higher cost

**Caveats:** Bonded fulfilment is notably more expensive than non-bonded. Most quotes include a standing monthly charge on top of per-order fees—factor this into your average cost calculation. One member mentioned cutting **Fodafilment** and indicated their "final offer" pricing was available if needed, suggesting some room for negotiation. Always confirm whether quoted costs include shipping or are fulfilment-only.
